Maybe we should be doing the same if we have to do TeeDubs games as Domey wants. Do it after the A-League game?

Means the young guns who didnt get to play can still have a runout in a matchday situation.
No stand-down period between games.
TV Cameras will still be there.

However I would still prefer we dont play the TWs on the same day

Quote:

Melbourne Heart, in conjunction with Football Federation Victoria (FFV) have announced they will stage the 2012 Victorian Premier League Grand Final at AAMI Park following Heart's second round Hyundai A-League match against Wellington Phoenix.

Heart tackles Phoenix at AAMI at 3pm on 14 October and FFV has scheduled the VPL Grand Final to commence at 5.30pm, directly after Heart’s first home match of the 2012 roster.

The partnership will provide fans of the Hyundai A-League and the VPL the chance to enjoy a unique double header, combining elite level football and the finale of Victoria’s top tier season in an afternoon football feast.

The Heart & Jets games will need to be shifted, otherwise we will need to be playing the 8 academy kids to make up numbers.

Didn't happen in the 2007/8 season.

Hopefully FFA can be persuaded, although it's of no real concern to them other than the prospect of a Phoenix C team being fielded.

I will always put club before country but in this case a mid-week Nix-Jests game at a later/earlier date would be good.

To darken the spirits of the Heart we want you to come all dressed in novelty breasts or your favourite piece of scarfy furniture. Let's make Forsyth-Barr Stadium just like the old windswept, freezing Carisbrook used to be (full of drunk scarfies and urine).

We're also putting on face painting and a bouncy castle. If you are a hard core fan, or just want to be there for something that will never happen again, then you will want to be a part of this. F*ck it - if we don't get a 20k+ crowd then you're all a bunch of rowers.

Don't really want to cramp your style but would be nice for that horse to be left in the season that was. It was funny for a while...

Hi everyone,

I know that there are plenty of electronic calendars containing the A-League 2012/13 draw for ALL TEAMS but I like to have one just for the Nix.

So of course, I created one. And here it is for everyone to share.

It is a shared Google calendar which basically means that not only can you access it to find out the local NZ times and dates for games - you can also IMPORT the calendar into your current calendar on your computer or smart phone/device so that you will have the fixtures embedded into your diary.

You can find it here: http://bit.ly/nix201213

If there are any errors (which I'm sure there will be at least one, not withstanding the Western Sydney TBC name), then please let me know - via PM is probably the best way.

Enjoy :)

P.S. See you on Saturday 2 March for the buildup to that Jam Tards game eh?

I like the new finals format. Just about everyone is contender to top 6. Its not as hard for teams outside the top 2 to make the grand final. We don't have to watch 1v2 play out 2 or 3 times. The top 2 are not guranteed a spot in the GF making it a more genuine elimination process.

I think I would rather the semis were played home and away but I suppose the top 2 deserve some advantedge and home advantedge is a good advatedge.
